Pre-Thanksgiving Festivities

What could be better than a little pre-Thanksgiving celebration to get ready for the big day? My office transformed our conference room into a dining room for our first annual Thanksgiving lunch. Everyone pitched in by making (or buying) all the necessities from the wine to the dessert. The highlights: roasted squash and apple salad with pepitas and feta, maple-garlic roast turkey, stuffing and candied yams. And no meal would be complete without something sweet. We finished off our feast with my pumpkin pie and Italian goodies from Arthur Ave. We had to make due with paper plates and microwaves, but everything was delicious. I think we've started a great new tradition!

About Me

The Hungry Yuppies, Annie and Rich, are a young couple from CT who are self-proclaimed foodies. Annie is the chef, and Rich is her willing taste tester. Juggling a full time job in the city wasn't going to get in the way of Annie's love for cooking. It's about eating well whether you have just 30 minutes on a Monday night, or all day on a rainy Sunday.
